NELA Welcomes Me Home

October 5, 2015 · by · in Biking, The Far Corners of LA · Leave a comment

This month marks what would be my sixth year living in the same apartment building in Koreatown–would.  As I mentioned previously, I moved to Northeast Los Angeles a few weeks ago.  It was a spontaneous move, but it was the right one. I lived in a 1930’s block apartment off of 3rd and Normandie.  It […]

The Third Day of Hoffmas: Gualagetza

May 9, 2014 · by · in Taco Tour · Leave a comment

My friend, Jonah, and I were trying to figure out a place for birthday drinks and appetizers. He lives on the Southern end of K-Town, so there are many good options in between our homes. Jonah suggested his favorite Oxacan restaurant, Gualagetza, for margaritas and shrimp cocktail. Gualagetza is a unique treasure of a restaurant. […]

The biggest adventure of the day is the delicious Mediterranean restaurant that delivers in […]
